CONCLUSION

   Features-wise the MANA 136 can’t compare with the likes of the Overseer RX-I and the Prominent R but due to its rather smaller size it’s targeted towards an entirely different part of the market. Its build quality is very good, the design is something we don’t see a lot (and personally I like it) and it does come with a good range of features such as hot-swap drive bays, space for two SSDs, very good cable management, USB 3.0 and tool-less mechanisms for all the drive bays. On the downside the airflow levels right from the box may not be great but you can improve that since it you can add 5 more resulting in a total of seven 120mm fans (amazing airflow for such a small case).

   Aside their weird designs In-Win always had an aggressive pricing policy in place for their products and so the MANA 136 Midi Tower currently retails for around USD80 inside the USA and 55Euros inside the EU. Overall the In-Win MANA 136 may be a bit rough around the edges but it’s a solid midi tower with a great front fascia design, good features, plenty of airflow (that is if you fill the 5 extra empty fan spots) and a very tempting price tag which is why it walks away with our Golden award.
